And now you hit the nail on the head. Because your 'option 2' (download+patch) with ivy doesnt involve 'publishing'. we just download and patch. But with maven you MUST publish. so this is really forcing us to your option 3 (its a published fork). Give me an option 2 for maven that doesnt have the word 'publish' and then its an option 2. -- lucidimagination.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
